Earlier this month, we went over How to Build a Recurrent Neural Network from Scratch, How to Build a Neural Network from Scratch in Python 3, and How to Build a Neural Network with Sci-Kit Learn. As a continuation in the Neural Network series, this post is going to go over how to build a Recurrent Neural Network with Keras SimpleRNN in Tensorflow. In this post we'll use Keras and Tensorflow to create a simple RNN, and train and test it on the MNIST dataset. Here are the steps we'll go through: To follow along, you'll need to install tensorflow which you can do using the line in the terminal below. Using Keras and Tensorflow makes building neural networks much easier to build.

This tutorial is designed for anyone looking for an understanding of how recurrent neural networks (RNN) work and how to use them via the Keras deep learning library. While all the methods required for solving problems and building applications are provided by the Keras library, it is also important to gain an insight on how everything works. In this article, the computations taking place in the RNN model are shown step by step. Next, a complete end to end system for time series prediction is developed.

Recently, there is great interest to investigate the application of deep learning models for the prediction of clinical events using electronic health records (EHR) data. In EHR data, a patient's history is often represented as a sequence of visits, and each visit contains multiple events. As a result, deep learning models developed for sequence modeling, like recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are common architecture for EHR-based clinical events predictive models. While a large variety of RNN models were proposed in the literature, it is unclear if complex architecture innovations will offer superior predictive performance. In order to move this field forward, a rigorous evaluation of various methods is needed. In this study, we conducted a thorough benchmark of RNN architectures in modeling EHR data. We used two prediction tasks: the risk for developing heart failure and the risk of early readmission for inpatient hospitalization. We found that simple gated RNN models, including GRUs and LSTMs, often offer competitive results when properly tuned with Bayesian Optimization, which is in line with similar to findings in the natural language processing (NLP) domain.

These are the lecture notes for FAU's YouTube Lecture "Deep Learning". This is a full transcript of the lecture video & matching slides. We hope, you enjoy this as much as the videos. Of course, this transcript was created with deep learning techniques largely automatically and only minor manual modifications were performed. If you spot mistakes, please let us know!
